Measurements of cross sections of the {sup 95}Mo(n, {alpha}){sup 92}Zr reaction at E{sub n} = 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 MeV were carried out at the 4.5 MV Van de Graaff of Peking University, China. A twin gridded ionization chamber and two large-area {sup 95}Mo samples were adopted. Fast neutrons were produced through the D(d, n){sup 3}He reaction by using a deuterium gas target. A small {sup 238}U fission chamber was employed for absolute neutron flux determination. Present data are compared with existing evaluations and measurement.
